mother's milk tea ?

i don't have production problems but i don't think i'm a over producer, i will be returning to work and wondered if it's ok to drink the mothers milk tea scince ill be pumping 3 times a day instead of nursing ?

Re: mother's milk tea ?

I drink it about 1/2 hour before pumping at work (3x a day) and it has seemed to increase my supply by about an ounce. My supply was just right, but I was getting ready to go out of town, so I was drinking the tea to squeaze out 4 bottles a day instead of the usually three. I now squeeze out about an extra 7 bottles a week, good stash.

Re: mother's milk tea ?

if mother's milk tea doesn't work for you, you could try fenugreek. you can also get fenugreek at GNC. i'm also planning on trying mother's milk tea next week when i go back to work. i took fenugreek for a couple of weeks when my dd was 4 weeks old, and i definitely noticed an increase in my milk supply.

Re: mother's milk tea ?

I started taking Blessed Thissle along with Fenugreek and Mothers Milk tea. I have not received the Domperidone yet. Does anyone think this is too much? FYI, I am trying to relactate. To update you all on my progress...I still have not been succseful trying to get my daughter to the breast but I am pumping an ounce a day when before I was getting zilch!

Hi Drea, it sounds like you are making progress! I have heard the blessed thisle works best in combination with fenugreek. So you decided to try the Domperidone? I hope it gives you a big boost! I have been taking Domperidone, fenugreek, and drinking 2 cups of mother's milk tea for over 4 months now. No side effects to report.

Have you met with a LLL Leader or an IBCLC to help get the baby back to the breast?
